Scope and ContentPassport. Hoboken Free State. [The Foundry Press: R.C. Rimington, copyright 1929.] Issued by Christopher Morley and Cleon Throckmorton. No. 51. Issued to J. Brooks Atkinson, February 3, 1930. Lime colored cloth boards with die-cut window, 3-7/8" wide x 6-1/4" high. [12] pp. Numerous stamps, signatures and annotations. Lee 80. Ashby A80. Not present: the drawing of The Foundry by Gus Hutaf and the printed envelope. Not a true passport. It is one from an edition of circa 200. Morley, who was the author of the texts within (in Old English style of using an 'f' for 's' in lower case), would have characterized his works like this one as created 'for hilarity.' Justin Brooks Aktinson was the New York Times Drama Critic from 1925-1960 and for whom the Brooks Atkinson Theater on Broadway is named. (Atkinson in 1929 visited the production of "After Dark" at the Old Riato in Hoboken and wrote an article for the Times. A quote from it appears in "Seacoast of Bohemia" on pages 57 and 60.) Apparently Atkinson took this item on a trip to the Far East and it has several official ink and embossed stamps plus holographic entries throughout it. At the end are some bar drink recipes. (Names have not been transcribed.) On page [1], the passport holder is hand lettered as J. Brooks Atkinson, New York Times, Lackawanna 1000. The passport number is press numbered in red ink. Page [4] has a declaration of J. Brooks Atkinson as Citizen of the Hoboken Free State. A blind embossed seal is below with the issue date (seal: Hoboken Free State with motto "E Pluribus Euthanasia" surrround shield device that was used for the Three Hours for Lunch Club.) Holographic ink signatures of Morley and Throckmorton at the bottom of the page. Page [5] has a clipped printed black-and-white caricature (artist, Fowler?) of Atkinson where the passport photo was to be placed. Below it is stated: The fee for this Passport is Ten Dollars. Page [9] has the reduced size copy (6-5/8" high x 8-5/8" wide) of the Last Seacoast of Bohemia map which is folded and attached to the page (as called for by Morley's bibliographers.) It is printed in black only. Although the address for The Foundry on page [1] is given as 110 River Street [Hoboken], the press is listed as "One West Sixty-Seventh Street - New York" on the printed envelope which is not present but recorded by bibliographers. Other publications from this press list the 67th Street address, but it is shown on the Seacoast of Bohemia map as on River Street.
